River Secrets

Young Razo travels from Bayern to Tira at war's end as part of a diplomatic corps, but mysterious events in the Tiran capital fuel simmering suspicions and anger, and Razo must spy out who is responsible before it is too late and he becomes trapped in an enemy land.

Comment

This book as a whole was definitely a different feel from the previous two books. It's more of a political murder mystery sort of thing. Tira and Bayern are trying to have peace talks, but someone is sabotaging it. And it looks like a fire speaker is involved...uh oh! Tensions run high, assassination attempts are made, sneaky political maneuvers are undertaken. All in all it's the sort of plot I'm easily drawn into, so yet another reason why this book was so easy for me to enjoy. Despite it dealing with death and war and whatnot, it was delightful, fun read as per expected of Shannon Hale. For the full review, head to OboeChica Books (so long and thanks for all the fish).

It was interesting since the main charactor was a guy this time and I'm a girl.I had to walk in his shoes and I was basically a boy throughout the whole story.Razo is really funny and has a huge appatite.Dasha was cool but not my favorite.

This is an amazing book packed with mystery, suspense, and intrigue. Razo is a funny character and i think you will enjoy reading his book. This is a well told story that is amazing, compelling, and exciting. I hope you take the time to read this. There are two books before River Secrets: The Goose Girl and Enna Burning. I reccomend this series for people 13 and up

Summary

This is by far the best book in the series. River Secrets takes the story of a young girl coming to understand her power with water through the eyes of a beloved character, Razo, from the other books. Laugh out loud moments and tension building scenes leaves readers glued to the book until the very end.
